• I've been considering Salomon X Ultra Mids to replace my heavy old Meindl. I've done Winter Munros in North Face GTX shoes before now, didn't really have any problems

    Only thing with these Salomon is reviews suggest they're not that durable.

    I'd personally go with the mids in those Lone Peaks, if only for the perception of a little more ankle protection. I can turn an ankle over on just about anything sometimes

    We had a very pleasant wild camp Sat night in the Pentlands, trying out our new tent

  • I hear you on the Mids. Not sure I'm quite ready for no ankle protection after wearing boots for years.

    Is that a Force 10 Xenon?

    We lucked out with the weather last week in the Lakes too... Friday morning while doing an Ennerdale horseshoe...

  • Is that a Force 10 Xenon

    It is, its the Plus. For the amount of space with the porch, very impressive pack size and weight. Not ultra light, but good enough. What's yours, MSR?
